Anti-no tuition, no exam bill, isusulong ni Cynthia Villar TINIYAK kahapon ni dating Las Pinas Rep. Cynthia Villar na isusulong niya ang panukalang batas ng kanyang asawang si Senador Manny Villar na nagbabawal sa colleges at universities na hindi pakuhanin ng pagsusulit ang kanilang estudyante dahil sa utang sa tuition fees at iba pang bayaran sa paaralan.
